<span>The first number = x
The </span>second number = 2x-3

x + 2x-3 = 36
3x = 36+3
3x = 39
x = 39/3
x = 13

The first number = x = 13
The second number = 2x-3 = 2*13 - 3 = 26 - 3 = 23

If chuck travels 310 miles and dana travels 295 at the same time, but chuck rate of travel is 3 mph more than dana and they trav
Alisiya [41]

Hello!

Let's write this as an equation below.

310/3+d=295/d

As you can see, we can cross-multiply this proportion giving us the equation below.

310d=295(3+d)

310d= 295d+885

Now, we subtract 295d from both sides.

15d=885

Now we divide both sides of the equation by 15.

d=59

Therefore, Dana travels 59 mph.

I hope this helps!

Troy shares a family bag of 24 Jet Plane
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Troy ate 7 lollies.

Step-by-step explanation:

You start out by finding how many lollies Troy's two friends ate out of the 24 lollies. To find out how much Tane ate out of the 24 Jet Plane lollies you simply <u><em>divide 24 by the denominator</em></u> --> 24/3=8, <em><u>then you multiply your answer by the numerator</u></em> --> 8x1=8, so Tane ate 8 of the 24 lollies. Repeat this same process for Levi, and your answer should be 9.

Because Tane ate <u>8</u><u> out of the 24</u> lollies and Levi ate <u>9</u><u> out of the 24 lollies</u>, that indicates that <u>17</u><u> out of the 24 lollies</u> are gone (just add your results, 8+9=17). This leaves Troy with only 7 lollies (<em><u>subtract 17 from 24</u></em> to find out how many lollies are left, 24-17=7).
